Who We Are
At Little Roots Pediatric Dental, we believe that informed families raise healthier kids. Our Westbury practice — led by Dr. Sunaina Vohra, DMD, and Dr. Jessica Barzideh, DMD — is built on the conviction that every child deserves both exceptional dental care and the knowledge to support a lifetime of healthy smiles.
The educational content on our website is an extension of that commitment. Just as we take the time in our office to walk parents through every procedure and answer every question, our articles and resources are designed to give families the clear, trustworthy information they need — between visits and beyond.
Purpose of Our Content
Our website content is written to help parents, caregivers, and guardians:
- Understand common pediatric dental conditions, treatments, and procedures in plain, accessible language
- Feel confident and prepared before bringing their child in for a visit
- Make informed decisions about their child’s oral health and development
- Learn practical tips for supporting good dental habits at home, from infancy through the teenage years
All content is informational and educational in nature. It is not a substitute for a professional dental evaluation or personalized clinical advice. We always encourage families to contact our office directly with questions specific to their child’s care.
Who Reviews Our Content
Every article and educational resource published on the Little Roots Pediatric Dental website is reviewed by a licensed dental professional before it goes live. Our review process is led by our own clinical team, which includes:
- Board-eligible or board-certified pediatric dentists (DMD)
- Clinical specialists with expertise in areas such as airway dentistry, sedation, and early orthodontic intervention
- Practice leadership who ensure content reflects how we actually care for patients in our Westbury office
Reviewer credentials are reflected in the quality and accuracy of every page. When content covers a topic outside our direct clinical scope, we consult authoritative third-party sources before publication.
How Often Content Is Updated
Keeping our content current is a responsibility we take seriously. Our editorial schedule includes:
- Full website content audit every six months, ensuring all articles reflect the latest clinical guidelines, research, and best practices in pediatric dentistry
- Immediate updates when new professional standards are released by organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) or the American Dental Association (ADA), or when regulatory guidance changes
- Ongoing monitoring by our clinical team for emerging topics relevant to children’s oral health
Each page includes a “Last Reviewed” date so families always know how current the information is.
Our Content Contributors
Content on the Little Roots Pediatric Dental website may be created by:
- Members of our clinical dental team (Dr. Vohra and Dr. Barzideh)
- Experienced pediatric health writers with expertise in dentistry
- Practice team members familiar with the patient and family experience at our office
Regardless of who drafts the content, every article undergoes professional review by a licensed dentist before it is published. We do not publish content that has not been reviewed and approved by a qualified clinical professional.
Our Editorial Values
Accuracy All content is grounded in current, evidence-based dentistry. We reference accepted clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed research, and the real-world expertise of our own pediatric dental team. We never publish information we cannot stand behind clinically.
Clarity We write for parents, not practitioners. Complex dental concepts — like why primary teeth matter, what airway dentistry involves, or how sedation works — are explained in language that is easy to understand without oversimplifying the science.
Child-Centered Perspective Every topic is approached through the lens of what is best for children. Whether we’re discussing cavity prevention for toddlers or early orthodontic evaluation for school-age kids, our content reflects our practice’s deep commitment to pediatric-specific care.
Transparency We are upfront about the nature of our content, who reviews it, and when it was last updated. We clearly distinguish between educational information and clinical recommendations.
Objectivity Our educational content is written to inform, not to sell. We aim to present options and information fairly so that families can make choices that are right for their child — not just for our practice.
Editorial Independence
Little Roots Pediatric Dental maintains complete editorial control over all content published on this website. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored articles, or advertiser influence of any kind. No third party directs, shapes, or approves our editorial decisions.
Our content reflects the genuine clinical perspectives of our team — nothing more, nothing less.
